Had to measure my waist a couple of
times. It's just hard to imagine that I've lost that much in just a
few days. Catching up with the weight makes sense with how much I've
been peeing. During the last couple of days there was the Amazon,
Nile, Mississippi, and my bladder.
Had hard time getting to sleep last
night, once I did get to sleep I slept straight through the night but
did flop around a bit before passing out.
I baked some ribs. Which was big enough
and late enough to consider as lunch and dinner. I finished editing
and posted the recipe video for the Southwest Style “Detox” Chicken soup.
But again it was one of those days where I'd blink and it was several
hours later. I guess that it is Tuesday. I want Tuesdays be my days
off it would be nice if I were a bit more productive on my few days
off, but I that's all I got done today. I did buy the ingredients for
next weeks recipe video. They kind of teased me because along with
the recipe ingredients I picked up a 60 pack of eggs. I only eat
three eggs a day so these should last me until pretty close to the
end of the month. (That is if they don't go bad.) I didn't get around
to cooking next week's recipe video just yet, but I don't have to
work until 2pm tomorrow, hopefully I'll be a bit more proactive
tomorrow.
I did catch myself staring at the beer
cooler when I was getting groceries. But then I thought about the
fact that I was down to 327.2 lbs (148.4 kg) before I started picking
up diet sodas and the occasional beer. And the weigh in yesterday
and this morning was down a combination of 6.2 lbs! (2.8 kg) And the
only thing that I've changed was drinking water and avoiding alcohol
and artificial sweeteners. My waist is down to 53.5 inches (135.9
cm)! I don't know when my waist was last under 54 inches (137.2 cm)!
And just on Sunday my waist was tracking upwards. I think that was
due to inflammation and water retention from alcohol and some mac and
cheese that I had late last week.
I drink beer things go up. When I drink
water, things go down. I'm wanting things to go down. So there's some
serious cause and effect stuff going on there. That I'd be silly to
ignore.
My sister was kind enough to help me
get my taxes done for the year. She was kind of concerned with how
much money I was putting into my HSA. Again I have very little understanding on how insurance things work. I do know that I need to see a
doctor, it's been far too long since I've been to one. But it's just
the fear of the unknown. And dealing with something new. My sister
told me that her literal job is helping her coworkers with those
kinds of things so she could help me figure out the things.I just don't know how to ask.
My mom wrote a Facebook comment on
yesterday's post saying the only reason to lie about the alcohol
intake would be fear or shame. And these are pretty accurate answers
why I don't ask for more help with medical questions. Fear of the
unknown, and fear of the possible diagnosis's. (I know that any issues that I have are not going to go away if I just ignore them.) And shame of having to
ask for help with things. (Not a good way of writing that, but can't
seem to find a way to write that concern) And as Mom pointed out
there really is no reason to be fearful or feel shame over asking for
help. But I have a serious lack of practice asking for help for
anything.
